The area within the following boundary is closed to public access for the protection of wildlife:

* From the summit of the Goat Rock formation (UTM E660722, N4038501) west following an unnamed ridge to a point due south of the Western Front rock formation (UTM E660328, N4038999) * From the Western Front rock formation north (UTM E660328, N4038999) and northeast, encompassing the Resurrection Wall formation to a junction with the Juniper Canyon Trail (UTM E660800, N4039401), 1/3 mi from the Juniper Canyon trailhead) * Along the southern side of the Juniper Canyon Trail to a junction with a ridgeline extending due north from the Goat Rock formation (UTM E660956, N4039214) * Extending south along the ridgeline to the summit of the Goat Rock formation.

The Resurrection Wall and Western Front formations, and the west face of Goat Rock are closed. The Juniper Canyon trail and the east face of Goat Rock remain open. All current raptor advisory areas remain in effect.

Signage has been posted at strategic locations.

Violation of this emergency closure (36 CFR 1.5(f)) or 16 U.S.C 1531-1543 is punishable by a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment for not exceeding six months, or both.

Not sure why the Location Section says "No anchor at top" there are most definitely anchors at the top of all four pitches, each has rap rings. Other than that, some tips might be: - Watch out for loose stuff on the ledge at the top of P1. - The second bolt on P4 is impossible to see until you go up and over the hump on the left side of the route, it's farther than you'd think :) - Be careful on the approach, still haven't gone and not had anyone in the group fall down at least once.

The approach is 0.9 miles, takes about 35 minutes, and the trail is relatively easy to follow, although a bit steep at times, with no bushwhacking. When you reach the Citadel keep going left uphill until you reach the top at the foot of the northeast buttress where there is a small clearing in the chaparral.

The rock is surprisingly solid and the climb is very well protected for a 4-pitch "5.4" sport climb. Any dislodged rocks are likely to bounce down to the right of the route, out of harm's way. The runouts occur on easy terrain and some bolts are ridiculously close together (especially pitch 3). Here are my estimates of each pitch's rating, length, and bolt count:

After clipping the first bolt, aim up and left toward the ridge to find the second bolt. It's runout but very easy, like 5.0, and you can sling knobs if you feel uncomfortable. Attach a double-length runner to bolt 2 or you'll feel a lot of rope drag higher up.

We took along two 60' ropes and descended in three rappels: (1) pitch 3, (2) pitches 2-3 (which avoided an uncomfortable anchor), and (3) pitch 1.

What an awesome climb! This was my first multi pitch I've lead entirely. It was for the most part easy except on pitch two I got a little lost and went to the right, when I should've gone left. (seems to be a theme with this route. If you're wondering where to go go left...) I ended up a couple feet above and to the right of the second, hanging, anchor. I really dislike run-out, but the distance between the first and second bolts on the first pitch wasn't bad for me, as the climbing is so easy.

The guide book says the Citadel is in the shade and therefore a good place to climb on hot days, and this is true, except for this one route. It was in the sun all day and I drank my entire 64oz bottle.

My partner and I rapped off with a single 70m rope, which just barely touched the ground on the first pitch. The quick link is still on the first bolt for those with a single 60m. Our two friends decided to walk off. They very much regretted that decision.

The quick link has been missing since Jan 10th. There's enough rings on Power Tools to get down to the ground with a 60m though. 50m or shortened 60m won't make it. Just be careful scrambling down to the top anchor, it's loose and a slip would probably be fatal. If you time it right, (start mid afternoon 2:30 maybe) you can climb the entire route in shade, catch a nice view from the top and rappel down entirely in the shade. Makes for a dark walk back to the car so bring lights.

Anchors are all in good shape, rock can be a bit loose around them though. At the hanging belay I touched a rock and it crumbled into my hands. The rest of the rock is quite solid. I rated it 5.7 because the very first move is quite possibly that hard (small undercling/sidepull lieback thing), but it's right off the ground and could be probably be skipped with a dyno or boost. Rest of the route is 5.4 or easier. Definitely worth doing once and as a first multipitch for anyone wanting to learn, easy climbing, bolted, multiple rappels needed to get down, a hanging belay and a great view.

My 60m didn't make the last rappel, either (short about 12 feet). As of 13 June 2015 there was an 18cm quickdraw on the second bolt of the first pitch. Please leave it there! If you have a 60m or less you use it to lower the rest of the way to the ground.
